Synopsis

All Equity members are invited to observe/audit our upcoming livestream acting workshop with Matt Young. Have you ever been to an acting workshop entirely for, and led by, members of the queer community?  Join LGBTQIA+ actor and acting coach Matt Young (Heart of the Man, Gayby Baby, Lumber, XYXY) in a livestream workshop designed as a safe and free space for queer creatives. Four (4) participant actors will apply to work with Matt Young, a LGBTQIA+ actor and acting coach, and founder of Tukuna Acting Club, established in Suva, Fiji in 2016.  Observers will have the opportunity to watch their fellow actors work, and will have the opportunity to ask questions of the instructor at the end of the class, prioritising questions from participants.
